Description

An easy to read, user-friendly crash course in autism and the various treatments that exist for it. For too long the books about autism have fallen into two categories: 1.Books that are scientifically sound but too technical, long-winded, and difficult to understand. 2.Books that are interesting and accessible, but woefully inaccurate. By the time you finish reading this book you will have a better understanding of what autism is, which treatments do and do not work, how to help your child, and which government-funded resources are out there to help your family (in the United States).

Author Biography:

Dr. Adrienne Robek has conducted research on Applied Behavior Analysis methodology and provided practical ABA services for people on the autism spectrum since 1998. After becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in 2005, she earned her doctorate in behavioral psychology in 2007 from The City University of New York, Graduate Center, where she was awarded their prestigious science fellowship. After earning her doctorate, she became a New York State licensed psychologist, working to provide an array of services ranging from diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, to the development of home-based ABA services. She has since developed four ABA programs in New York and Qatar, providing hundreds of families with the services they need. To support the programs, Dr. Robek trains and supervises the therapists who work with the children and creates individualized curriculum programs informed by substantial experience as a clinical coordinator and consultant. Dr. Robek provides an array of services that range from diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder to the development of home-and-center-based ABA services. Additionally, Dr. Robek has experience as a clinical coordinator at a therapeutic group home for adolescents and adults and has also consulted at many schools to train teachers in behavior management techniques.
